One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children. Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles. Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

A toddler is dead in Calgary because we allow these jacked up SUVs with very minimal forward visibility. The drivers of these can’t see people in the crosswalk. When will these be banned? #Calgary

The police say they will be looking into “environmental things”. How about looking into how little of this windshield was left to actually see through with all these accessories and decals were added! WTAF! #Calgary

Used to be that robber barons would give away vast sums of wealth to charitable causes to launder their reputations. Now the billionaires just try to control the narrative by buying up the media companies

The people who have to insure our homes and cars know that climate change is real, because it affects their bottom line. It's not that regulating emissions is bad for business; it's just bad for a small number of industries that happen to be very powerful.

An autistic woman has reportedly performed a daring feat of extreme bravery by answering “Fine” to the question “How are you?” in a social setting when, in fact, that response does not entirely encapsulate every nuance of the truth.

ICE doesn't ever "leave" any state. There will continue to be ICE and CBP enforcement actions as there were during previous presidents. Hillary Clinton was saying this in her remarks. She doesn't like the visible violence but she is fine with "regular" violence.

This is all true but when I have doomerism, it’s from the knowledge that this party — aside from a small minority — is corrupt, ideologically compromised, and will resist with all its will to do what is actually necessary

There is no opposition-to-fascism party. There’s an opposition-to-Trump party but it’s full of people who don’t really care about the underlying factors that brought Trump and right wing factions into power.

Things will have to get much worse but these people literally were in the Capitol during an attempted coup and then went back to normal behavior not long after. They have to think the system is trying to kill them too and they somehow don’t yet. Insanity bubble of DC politics.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Guys, when the snow melts too fast it releases all the captured particulate pollution and now the air looks like pictures of smog from the 1970s. We need Captain Planet to come back so bad

Everything else is commentary

Hegseth (boorishly): Russia's cool. NATO sucks. Your security problem, Europe, is you're too brown and gay. Vance (condescendingly): Russia's cool. Your security problem is you're too brown and Muslim. Rubio (politely): Who cares about Russia. Your problem is you're not white or Christian enough.

The huge success of "actually eating steak and butter every day is GOOD for me" is great evidence for the Everyone is 12 Now theory

I can confirm

“The plan's $38 billion budget is more than the total annual spending for 22 states, according to state budget data."

Current* conditions near Mackinaw City, MI:

The John Wick series is so effective because it fully embodies the three major tenets of dumb guy fantasy: 1. being able to kick anyone’s ass, 2. living by a code of honor, and 3. paying for things with gold coins

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Current* conditions near Isle Royale NP, MI:

The devil Steve Bannon worked with the pedophile king to attack the Jesuit pope over Church doctrine on social justice. Time to shine a spotlight on the "trad" Catholic right wing extremists (step forward JD Vance) who abuse Church teaching to drive their hate. www.cnn.com/2026/02/14/w...

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

There it is. Now we're talking.

It's not even close.

Good time to remind everyone that NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, a right-wing economist, has made it a personal goal to make sure lockdowns can never return. Because in his mind, there is nothing that could ever justify shutting down the economy. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Just going to point out again that our arbitrary political rules permit Republicans to attack urban areas with impunity but strictly forbid the faintest whiff of condescension toward rural areas by Democrats

Remember that the old man and his party started this and now they’re crying because they didn’t expect Dems to fight back ✨

[COMMENTARY] A new op-ed argues ocean conservation and crew welfare are inseparable. With weak protections for migrant fishers, the author says expecting compliance with fisheries laws is unrealistic. ** Views are author's.

This is blackout poetry to me

Soooo what have we learned.

How on earth does science function in the US if they're throttling the funds?

If Democrats need a generically handsome white man in a suit, Andy Beshear is right there and has been pretty consistent in his values. You can say a lot about him — nepo baby, untested on the national scene, Dockers dork — but he is pretty adamantly himself, and decent.

Had a very "based alpha Chad" vs "normie" situation play out in real life yesterday when I visited my grandma (my grandma was the based alpha Chad)

"The computing center, which is slated to be turned over to an unspecified third party..." Not only are they making weather forecasting worse, they're pillaging our public resources so their friends, family, and ideologically-aligned allies can profit.

I had a few things to say about Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall.

The IOC has banned the courageous & principled Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych for his “helmet of memory” commemorating Ukraine’s war dead. Meanwhile the IOC is selling a $42 "Heritage T-shirt" commemorating the 1936 Olympics, known as the Nazi Games. shop3.olympics.com/en/olympic-g...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_i... It's interesting to look at how Epstein directly, via hundreds of thousands of emails with his pedo buddies in academia, made US academia incredibly hostile to women for *decades*. How many Emma Noethers never were, even before any of it was put into legislation?

For decades. In US nazism, statistically the thing that has caused a woman to leave academia was not official legislation banning her but "my thesis advisor, who is in the Epstein files btw, turned out to be a massive fucking creep"

AI is the future and inevitable and you'll fall behind unless you use it, which is why "content creators" need 6 figure bribes to hype it up

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

Nearly 3,000 peaceful people have been arrested under this outrageous ban. It was brought in after lobbying by arms companies and Netanyahu's government. It has been condemned by UN rapporteurs and many other experts. All the while, our government has been collaborating in real state terrorism.

The ban was justified by Yvette Cooper, who imposed it when she was Home Secretary, on the grounds that she knew some special secrets about PA the rest of us didn't: a shocking abuse of government privilege. She has never produced this "evidence", and we have reasons to believe it does not exist.

With a crushing sense of inevitability. Thousands - literally thousands - arrested, people imprisoned for months. All for - optics?

you made this sweet environmental law man mad

Moderate Democrats believe the party should ask morons what they want, then give it to them once in power. But morons do not know what they want.
